>>354618I don't see how refusing to carry an axe makes you an ultralight fanatic. Most hikers in the whole fucking world don't carry one.
But then I guess we hit the same identity problem as always: we might be on the same board, we don't all do the same things, even though we like to give those different things the same names. It's like everyone is a hiker/camper/backpacker, even if some go mainly to walk or travel around and see nice places, some go mainly for specific activities like hunting, fishing or climbing, and some go mainly for bushcrafting and survival.
I just walk and travel around and see nice places, and it's not like my survival ever depends on my ability to make a fire, so I don't need an axe, nor do I go /out/ for the sole purpose of hauling shit around.
I can cut wood with a knife just fine, thank you.
